Behaviour of Vertically Loaded Piled Raft
Abstract: In order to understand the load-settlement behaviour and load sharing of piled raft resting on sand soil, 1-g model tests were conducted.The parameter studied were the influence of pile spacing and number of piles. The testing program includes tests on models of unpiled raft and rafts on 4 and 9 piles. The model piles beneath the raft are non-displacement piles.The improvement in ultimate bearing capacity is represented by load improvement …

Evaluation of Soil Reinforcement Potential of Grass Variety
Abstract: Reinforcement potential of plant root is studied by many researches across the globe. This work aims to analyze the effect of grass root in the improvement of engineering properties of soil. Plant roots being a natural material help in enhancing the shear strength of soil. Field and laboratory studies were conducted on a grass variety (Co-4) and the soil reinforcement potential of the plant is studied. It is found that …

Stabilization of Red soil by using Boiler Feed Ash
Abstract: Red soil is the one of the irrigation soil. Most of plants are grown in this soil. The red soil has the most iron content when compared to other soils and it has also got various chemical properties. The red soil has less bearing strength and more water permeability. By the addition of fly ash and BFA to the red soil the liquid limit, plastic limit and bearing strength can …
